Now in its 10th year, writer/director Selina Keedwell brings SYT’s infamous Scary Tours which has been created with local young people to Bridgwater Arts Centre for the very first time.
Journey through the Arts Centre as a professional and community cast bring to life strange & sinister stories inspired by real and imagined tales from Bridgwater’s past.
Expect tales of old, dark comedy, jump scares, unexpected encounters and stuff-of-nightmares as the building – and its history – comes alive around you. What could possibly go wrong?

We made a film! It’s about what Somerset Youth Theatre cic get up to during our  ‘Play in a Week’ times. It’s all Christmassy and lush – take a peek!

We are super proud of what this brilliant bunch of young people created and achieved together in just four days! They created a play, choreographed, designed a set, learnt how to light a stage, created a script, wrote raps and ate a LOT of biscuits! It was fabulous to see them shine on stage to a beaming audience of family and friends. Well done young people of Highbridge and beyond!

Huge thanks to all of our funders, supporters, families and brilliant young people of Highbridge and surrounding areas. We can’t wait for the next one!
